Mark Levinson ML-2 Problems
I have a pair of old-school Mark Levinson ML-2 power amplifiers. They've worked very well since I've owned them. However, now one of the amps runs much warmer than the other and it automatically turns off after about one minute of use. Have any of you Class-A amplifier owners come across this before, what was your fix or what should I look at when I open it up? What are the typical culprits of this type of problem. What are the typical culprits that plague the Class-A amps? I took the amp to a local electronics repair shop and the over the counter estimate was 700-1000 for repair, they didn't even turn it on or hook it up to any equipment . That's out of the question, since they see the name they assume they can charge a whole lot of money. Any help would be much appreciated. |

First off, does the channel in question still play?
Second, I'd suggest checking some of the basic stuff, like rail voltages, bias, etc. The schematics are, or were, available at www.marklev.com if you don't already have them. Grey |

Hi Huy,
Could be loose/not tightly fitted connectors for the six powermodules. These are all forks that glide into eachother, like the Regulator- and Frontendcard inside the amp. Sometimes they don't make a good contact and the regulatorcard supplies to high voltages (should be 27 Volts for the Torodial model ML-2 and a tad less 26,7 Volts for the E-model tran. At every powermodule there are thermalsensors that can shut down your amp by triggering the three pole Airpax circuitbreaker (your on/off switch) in case of overheating. If that doesn't work the Crowbar protection on your Regulatorcard (the card closest to the front) will trigger through an overvoltage status, protect the audiocircuit by decoupling it and relay the current to the big black resistor on it and blow the AC fuse. Never put a to high value in the placeholder because it will burn that particurlar resistor. I have two of these amps, another friend has also a pair and I have an acquitance who has eight of them in a HQD system (Hartley sub & Quad and Decca stacked). We all experience the same problems and you should check them thoroughally by a experienced technician. Mine were repaired by a former Goldmund designer and he soldered 36 silver/teflon wires to get a better connection to the powermodules then the connectors and replaced a couple of dried out little caps. I replaced the original 30 years old blue Sprague's large cans with Cornell Dubilier. These amps get really hot (400 Watts idling) and need a lot of attention/service to keep them happy. There like old sportscars that are a fun to drive but you have to maintain them. I was never a fan of so called full fledged Class A amps but I'm a believer now thanks to listening to them and the people (like Grey) on this forum. Have fun with them! |

I have a pair of these as well. Does it still play music for the one minute it is on. Then I suggesdt as follows; 1 If you have not changed the power supply caps you need to. 2 Check the rail voltages 3 Check the temperature of each output device - carefully. One may be different from thr others. 4 Check all mechanical connections. 5 Look for a damaged or broken soldered joint. Let us know the above and then we can take it from there. There are a lot of skilled electronics personnel on this web site who will be keen to help on this particular amp. Don |

I used to be really excited about the idea of plug-in cards. I thought that if they were gold plated they should work forever. They don't. Oh well, another wonderful idea down the drain. It looked so good on paper, though...
These days I solder things. Grey EDIT: Oh, and before I forget, www.marklev.com seems to be up and running at the moment. If you need schematics, now's the time to get them because that site's been erratic for the last month or two. |

Grey is right. There were never any updates anyway for the ML-2 as far as I know.
The No. 20 it's succesor was updated twice .5 and .6 version. The ML-2 uses for the powermodules so called Elco pins: Elco and Edac connectors have forked pins that meet at a right angle and are pushed together when mating. They will wear out if used heavily. The AP3, 4 en 4 Audio PC cards still used those Elco connectors. My problems were situated with the powermodules, the six modules that contain the heatsinks (the first two counted from the frontplate are no outputstages but work in tandem with the Regulatorcard inside) and not the two PC cards inside. My friend with the eight ML-2's bends the connectors lightly together indivually every time he pulls out a module. Do not now if that's a wise practice because they could be breaking from the print or something. As a improvement the No. 20 uses gas-tight, mil-spec, Varicon edge connectors with the powermodules which disconnect with a 'plop'. The better connector of the two it seems to me. I had a few products like Rowland, Levinson and Wadia that were modular and the manufacturer always promised as a legitimation for initial higher cost, a cost effective upgrade scheme. In reality they did not upgrade like the ML-2 or these updates were very expensive and yielded always some extra mainboard work. Maybe someone has better experiences than I have in this compartment. I have now idea what the real lifespan (without renewing every part inside the amp) of units like the ML-2 or other hotrunners like pure Class A Passdesigns is. I now replaced the main caps, some small dried out ones on the APcard and the powertransistors in 1993. Maybe Grey or Nelson Pass himself can give a glue/hint what he expects for a lifespan for units like the Threshold SA series or Pass XA series when with normal daily household use and properly serviced without changing hardware like the toroids and mainboard. |

The expected life of a component varies widely. On paper, everything in a solid state amp should last forever. In practice the electrolytic caps tend to die, but even this is highly variable. I've had tube pieces forty and fifty years old that functioned perfectly, even with the original caps.
In the case of the ML-2 you need to provide lots of ventilation. You frequently see pictures of them stacked on top of one another. It looks sexy, but it's not a good idea because it forces the one on top to run at considerably elevated temperatures. This will cause the top amp to age much more quickly than the bottom one. Likewise, don't run them inside a cabinet without forced air cooling. They generate too much heat to even think about doing so. There's a cheap line of electronics called Audio Source sold locally. A buddy of mine brought over two dead ones that had been stacked inside a cabinet. Just by looking at the circuit boards, I was able to tell him which unit had been on top; the PCBs were burned all over, not just at the output devices. And that's with a class B output stage--not class A. Incidentally, they only lasted about six months from date of purchase in that installation, so that gives you an idea of how quickly you can kill a piece of equipment if you don't treat it right. Please, be kind to your ML-2s. Let them breathe. Grey |

I'm not old enough for this..REALLY....
So...Apparently my poor mother started getting grey hair in her bangs in her early 30s.
Guess who is apparently taking after mom.... O.o
So, I am getting my hair did in a week or so and I need ideas.
Highlights have to be chunky because those bangs gotta be fully covered.. *cries for a minute at the grey hair*
This was my latest do. The red faded REALLY fast so I don't want to re-do this hair do. I don't mind putting in some more red, just want more than just red.. kwim?
I have dad's genes in lack of grey hair whereas my brother inherited moms early grey. Mom went the blonde route instead for highlights since it was closer to the gray color than red or brown.
You look great with red highlights.
My friend is a brunet like you and she had blond highlights for a while.
My mom started having grey hair in her 40th and she died her hair blond, just because its much harder to see grey roots in the light hair.
But, hell, try anything you want!
I actually think you would look nice as a redhead.
What about goin dark with multi color highlights? From what I can see I think it would look good! A lil dark a lil light :)
My sister suggested keeping my original color(brown/black like in photo)underneath, doing blonde on top and mixing carmel and red highlights in that. I am trying to picture it..lol
Quoting IansMommy2012:
I like that :) when you said grey in he bangs I thought of that chick off of the x-men. Monroe? Or something like that.
What about goin dark with multi color highlights? From what I can see I think it would look good! A lil dark a lil light :)
That is all.

Hank Aaron delivers commencement address at Marquette
MILWAUKEE - It's graduation day for students at Marquette University.
Baseball legend Hank Aaron was there to send them on their way with words of encouragement.
MLB Commissioner and former Milwaukee Brewers owner Bud Selig led his one-time employee to the stage.
"He hit home run number 715, breaking Babe Ruth's seemingly untouchable record," Selig told the crowd.
The 78-year-old Aaron was given an honorary doctorate Sunday. His wife was also in attendance.
"I passed your campus many times, walking to County Stadium in 1954, my rookie year with the Milwaukee Braves," Aaron said to the graduates. "I had no car."3
Hammerin' Hank lived his dream, playing for the Milwaukee Braves, Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers.
"For most of us, the realization of our dreams requires a strong, unyielding commitment, hard work and determination," Aaron said.
Aaron tells TODAY'S TMJ4 he often has the same advice for young people who envision a quick trip to the top.
"The one thing I try to tell all these young kids is that there is absolutely no short cut to success," Aaron says.

Netherlands Wartime Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, defending himself against charges of Europe's worst genocide since the Holocaust, told judges Monday he was not the barbarian depicted by U.N. prosecutors, but was protecting his people against a fundamentalist Muslim plot.
During a four-hour opening defense statement at the U.N. war crimes tribunal, Karadzic barely referred to specific allegations of mass murder at Srebrenica, indiscriminate shelling of Sarajevo, the destruction of Bosnian Muslim and Croat villages or the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people during the 1992-95 war in Bosnia.
But he took personal responsibility for Serb actions, as Yugoslavia dissolved and the region descended into a war in which some 100,000 people were killed, saying he was standing up for ethnic Serbs against Muslim Bosnians.
He claimed Bosnia's Serbs were under threat and physical attack by Muslims, led by former Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic, who rejected power-sharing proposals and wanted an Islamic republic in Bosnia.
The Serbs "wanted to live with Muslims, but not under Muslims," he said.
The image of the Muslims as victims was untrue, he said. The prosecution "is trying to make me out to be a barbarian attacking a good and friendly neighbor."

Note: Bruschetta (broo-SKEH-tah) is a traditional toasted bread topped with something tasty. If you cut the bread on the diagonal, you will get more surface. You can toast the bread an hour or so in advance, but the eggs and lobster need to be cooked right before serving. Each 5-ounce lobster tail will provide 4 ounces of meat. There are many alternatives to lobster (see below). Boursin is a creamy soft cheese with the texture of cream cheese, and it comes flavored with herbs. It's a tasty alternative to cream cheese. For large soft curds of eggs, keep your stirring to a minimum. Adapted from Bar La Grassa in Minneapolis.
• 1 baguette, cut in 16 (1/2 -in.) slices
• 1 garlic clove, peeled
• Butter
• 2 or more (5 oz. each) lobster tails (defrosted, if frozen)
• 14 eggs, beaten until yolks and whites are well-combined
• 4 oz. cream cheese, cut into small cubes (or Boursin cheese, see Note)
• Fresh chives, chopped
• Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper
• Truffle oil, optional
Toast bread in oven or in toaster. Rub one side of each slice with garlic (if you don't like garlic, omit this). Butter and set aside.
Prepare the lobster: Do this before you start the eggs so there isn't too much going on at the same time. To remove meat from shell, use kitchen shears to make 2 cuts along the underside of tail (the softer side) and break away the shell. Once the meat is out of shell (before or after it is cooked), remove the black vein that runs along the tail (pull it out or make a cut along the meat, as you would to devein shrimp, and pull the vein out).
Choice of options for cooking lobster:
• Remove meat from shell and sauté whole in 2 tablespoons butter, basting it often, for about 5 to 8 minutes, until cooked through, then chop or slice for the eggs, or ...
• Remove uncooked meat from shell and chop into chunks and sauté in 2 tablespoons butter before adding to the eggs, or ...
• Poach meat in the shell for about 3 minutes in water to which some white wine, carrot, celery, onion, chile flakes, fennel seed, mustard seed, peppercorns, bay leaf, thyme, kosher salt and lemon and oranges have been added. (Bring the water to a simmer before adding the tail.)
To prepare eggs: In each of 2 nonstick pans (or 1 large pan), melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add eggs and turn heat to medium-low. For the largest curds, cook eggs with little stirring, instead pushing cooked part aside with a spatula and allowing uncooked eggs to move into place. When almost done, add cream cheese and stir. Remove from heat. (Eggs will continue to cook.)

Mobile filter unit gets field test
Disposal of water recovered from wells that have been hydraulically fractured has become the subject of intense scrutiny from both the public in general and regulatory agencies these days.
"The use of the large volumes of water (for injection) often stresses local fresh water supplies, and the water flowing back from the well after fracturing is a briny mixture, creating a water disposal problem," noted Paul Ziemkiewicz, director of the West Virginia Water Research Institute at West Virginia University (WVU).
An ongoing project at WVU is confronting the dilemma, with participants readying to apply a technology at the well site to resolve these issues, while assuaging expressed concerns.
The WVU research team has been evaluating methods for managing frack water withdrawals and returns from large gas wells in the Marcellus shale by converting the briny wastewater into a suitable, partial replacement of the fresh water that is currently used as the fracturing fluid of choice.
"The objective of this two-year, two-phase project is to develop and demonstrate a process for treating return frack water (RFW) from Marcellus horizontal well development that will allow an increased recycle rate, while decreasing make-up water and disposal well requirements," Ziemkiewicz said. "It will be applicable in other places as well."
Ziemkiewicz is principal investigator of the program, dubbed "Zero Discharge Water Management for Horizontal Shale Gas Well Development." The effort is being funded by the U.S. Department of Energy NETL as a result of WVU's response to an RFP issued by the agency.
The WVU research team submitted a proposal with the support of McLean, Va.-based FilterSure Inc. They had prior experience working with the principals there.
During Phase I of the project, which was awarded in 2009, treatment options were evaluated for recycling RFW using actual Marcellus shale RFW.
That phase concluded with a decision to construct a prototype mobile unit based on the patented FilterSure modular multi-media technology.
"We're tweaking it and adjusting the media to its multi-media filter," Ziemkiewicz said. "We're at the stage now of constructing the field unit to go out on site next month (July).
The oil and gas industry requires a treatment system with minimal operation and maintenance, occupies a small footprint and can easily be moved from site to site.
The mobile filter unit meets these criteria and will be moved to a well site in West Virginia in July; testing will proceed for three months.
Water from similar wells was used to test the FilterSure unit in the laboratory.
"A lot of people are focusing on taking out dissolved solids," Ziemkiewicz said. "When we started looking at frack water, produced water returns from the oil and gas industry, we came up with the need to take out suspended solids – to recycle the water, the most important thing is to take out the solid particles.
"The FilterSure unit captures all particles larger than three microns; at that point there's no problem with plugging," he noted. "You can run it at a high volume, low maintenance mode at the well site.
"Only about 20 percent of the water comes back out after injection, so you're diluting the next cycle by a factor of five," he continued.
"The dilution factor takes down a lot of the dissolved solids to acceptable levels for recycling, while the filter takes out things left in suspension, such as clays and silt particles for example."
The prototype unit, which will be taken to the well, is a full-scale field unit. It can be run at 150 gallons per minute in low maintenance mode at the well site.
The successful development of a technology for treatment and reuse of RFW is slated to advance shale gas development via improved economics and resolution of environmental impacts, according to Ziemkiewicz.
"Improved economics will be achieved principally by reducing the amount of trucking and disposal of RFW and costs associated with these activities," he said. "By reusing the RFW for subsequent fractures, the need for fresh water will be reduced.
"The better you treat the RFW, the higher the blend ratio with fresh water, the less dependence and strain on local water resources," he emphasized, "and the less impact on local infrastructure and surrounding environment."

EVOLUTION OF SYSTEMS OF PLAY - PART II By the 1954 World Cup, the attacking center half was on his last legs. Attention now switched to the center forward, in particular the so-called withdrawn center forward utilized by the Hungarians. Chapman's invention of the third back killed off the attacking center half and also changed the role of the center forward from the talented all-rounder to the strong, powerful battering ram who battled the stopper... click for complete story
DO WE WANT ROBINHOS OR ROBOTS? The little boy dribbled and kept dribbling. He had taken the ball away from the midfield pack and zoomed towards his own goal.

I found a great book. The full title is American Sniper- Autobiography of Most Lethal Sniper in US Military History by Chris Kyle.
I read about half of it in the bookstore yesterday. I had to order it off Amazon today ( I had some rewards points to use which made it free. when you have no $$$, free is always good). I could not put this book down. I sat in the store for some 5 hours reading.
This is the blurb from Amazon:
From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. The Pentagon has officially confirmed more than 150 of Kyles kills (the previous American record was 109), but it has declined to verify the astonishing total number for this book. Iraqi insurgents feared Kyle so much they named him al-Shaitan (the devil) and placed a bounty on his head. Kyle earned legendary status among his fellow SEALs, Marines, and U.S. Army soldiers, whom he protected with deadly accuracy from rooftops and stealth positions. Gripping and unforgettable, Kyles masterful account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences ranks as one of the great war memoirs of all time.
A native Texan who learned to shoot on childhood hunting trips with his father, Kyle was a champion saddle-bronc rider prior to joining the Navy. After 9/11, he was thrust onto the front lines of the War on Terror, and soon found his calling as a world-class sniper who performed best under fire. He recorded a personal-record 2,100-yard kill shot outside Baghdad; in Fallujah, Kyle braved heavy fire to rescue a group of Marines trapped on a street; in Ramadi, he stared down insurgents with his pistol in close combat. Kyle talks honestly about the pain of warof twice being shot and experiencing the tragic deaths of two close friends.

Currently flirting with a 57 year old. Why do i do this
You must be Logged in to post a comment
Daddy issues. Sorry.
Because you're 60
Starving for attention
Experience and money. That's why.
...because he/she is nice looking, friendly, self-assured, experienced, all the things that make flirting and conversation (and sex) with them amazing as compared to some immature, ignorant, shallow 20 year old.
I love your name, it really does a good job at referring to your own comments and everything else you do daily.
I hate to break it to you Firefox but ... Most people in the current two generations are utterly hopeless. The few exceptions? they are ridiculed.
translation: im a 40 year old virgin. us 20 year olds could out fuck any middle aged viagra poppin, dry pussy havin loser like yourself
isn't that what sluts do?
Funny thing is, the speaker is 80.
Head = gummed
Because you r in South Dakota. That's all that needs to be said.
For the cash, bitch.. I make it rain!!
your a whore
Trust me, you don't want an older guy, they're too wierd ;)
Because she can always pull out her dentures and gum you?
I had sex with a 57 year old once. Bitch rocked my world. And apparently twenty years before, she rocked my dad's world, too.
Thats why she married your dad and had you.
The boi toys or sugar babies I know make more a year than fucking engineers, plus all the free trips, clothes and cars bought for them. If your hot and good with it, it's a sweet gig.

Embedded 5V-to-3.3V Voltage Regulator for Supplying Digital ICs in 3.3V CMOS Technology
Besten, Gerrit W. den and Nauta, Bram (1998) Embedded 5V-to-3.3V Voltage Regulator for Supplying Digital ICs in 3.3V CMOS Technology. IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, 33 (7). pp. 956-962. ISSN 0018-9200
211kB |
Abstract: | A fully integrated 5 V-to-3.3 V supply voltage regulator for application in digital IC's has been designed in a 3.3 V 0.5 μm CMOS process. The regulator is able to deliver peak current transients of 300 mA, while the output voltage remains within a margin of 10% around the nominal value. The circuit draw's a static quiescent current of 750 μA during normal operation, and includes a power-down mode with only 10 μA current consumption. The die area is 1 mm2, and can be scaled proportional to the maximum peak current. Special precautions have been taken to allow 5 V in the 3.3 V process. |

English as a Contact Language. Edited by: Schreier, Daniel; Hundt, Marianne. Cambridge, 2013. ISBN 978-1-107-00196-1.
Full text not available from this repository.
Recent developments in contact linguistics suggest considerable overlap of branches such as historical linguistics, variationist sociolinguistics, pidgin/creole linguistics, language acquisition, etc. This book highlights the complexity of contact-induced language change throughout the history of English by bringing together cutting-edge research from these fields. Special focus is on recent debates surrounding substratal influence in earlier forms of English (particularly Celtic influence in Old English), on language shift processes (the formation of Irish and overseas varieties) but also on dialects in contact, the contact origins of Standard English, the notion of new epicentres in World English, the role of children and adults in language change as well as transfer and language learning. With contributions from leading experts, the book offers fresh and exciting perspectives for research and is at the same time an up-to-date overview of the state of the art in the respective fields.

Corn maiden tamales are ok to say the least. You should try Gourmet Tamales at the Brentwood market on Sundays. Much more flavorful. I worked the Palisades market and had Corn Maidens quite often and I always found they lacked something. I grew up on tamales, so I am a bit critical. |
Gourmet Tamales In Los Angeles Area??? Also try the Long Beach Farmers Market tamales, long lines but worth the wait. The masa is fluffy, light and soft. They also drizzle the salsa on top. |

The head of Just Cause developer Avalanche Studios has said he is confident that the negativity surrounding Microsoft's Xbox One unveiling last week was due to Microsoft's "lack of focus on games" rather than the console itself.
"I understand the disappointment of many fans," said Avalanche founder Christofer Sundberg in an interview with VideoGamer, "but I am confident their disappointment is in the lack of focus on games during the reveal, rather than in the console."
Microsoft came under scrutiny from gamers after its Xbox One unveiling focused more on television and entertainment rather than games, though Microsoft has repeatedly pledged to show off more gaming at E3, including the 15 Xbox One exclusives it is currently working on.
"I hope that Microsoft will turn that around during E3," added Sundberg, also teasing to VideoGamer that "E3 2013 will be the biggest E3 for Avalanche Studios since we showed Just Cause back in 2005."
Sundberg added that Avalanche Studios has been working with the Xbox One for some time, and that the studio's "impressions from first sight until the recent public reveal have been positive."
Last week Avalanche Studios' chief technical officer, Linus Blomberg, compared the hardware in the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, saying "the specs on paper would favor the PS4 over the Xbox One in terms of raw power, but there are many other factors involved so we'll just have to wait and see a bit longer before making that judgment."
"Once [Microsoft has] cleared any remaining question marks around touchy subjects like always-on and second-hand sales, they are able to focus on the games and the real console war can finally kick off," concluded Sundberg.

I really loved this fic through and through. There was only one thing, I wish it was longer, and I kinda wish that there was a scene were John and Ronon let Rodney know that it was all ok, I just seem to get the feeling that Rodney went off feeling awful and that he may have lost a friend or that John was against him and Lorne together as it seemed like a threat when he mentioned it at the table.
Either way it was a fabulous fic that I really loved great job!

Boston is one of the few teams playing on Monday night, with the NBA not scheduling much against the BCS championship game. Actually, Boston hopes that its game against Houston is lower scoring than Auburn vs. Oregon.
Kevin Garnett did not go through shootaround Monday morning. While he is still officially questionable for Monday's game, this is a sign he may well miss another game.
As you can imagine, not playing and just watching games is not something Garnett does easily. Garnett blogs for Anta, his Chinese shoe endorser, and the great blog Red's Army found it.
"When I'm not playing, I hate talking hoops, so sorry for not blogging. You know how when you ain't a part of something, it hurts to talk about it. That's how I feel. Know what I mean?
"Don't get it messed up, just cause I ain't playing don't mean I'm not working out. I'm working super hard and feeling good…. After the (last Celtics) game, Dr. looked at my leg and we're close. Real close to getting back."
Real close may not mean Monday, however.

Mary Adams was a science producer at the BBC from 1930–6. She is shown to have played a crucial role in shaping science broadcasts, in particular devising formats and styles of presentation. However, her approach is shown to have been primarily motivated by broadcasting considerations rather than by the popularisation of science. Through her interaction with scientists she helped to construct a new professional domain, that of the science-broadcasting professional, at a time when other producers were creating analogous roles in other areas of broadcasting. This paper is based largely on unpublished archival documents.

Albany, New York (PRWEB) October 07, 2013
According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research "Home Automation Market – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2013 – 2019," the market was valued at USD 3.6 billion in 2012 and is expected to reach USD 16.4 billion by 2019, growing at a CAGR of 24.6% from 2013 to 2019.
Browse the full report with complete TOC at http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/home-automation-market.html.
Underpinning demand for a universal solution, which is easy to install and integrate with different sub-systems in a home has induced a disruptive growth phase in the industry. Broadband service providers, telcos, utilities and others, who are entering the market with packaged/bundled services, have further intensified competition in the market. This has made end-consumers as final beneficiaries, who are able to reap benefits of price competitiveness. However, with entry of large number of players across all levels of supply chain, the market has been witnessing a piling of too many solutions available to end consumers. Subsequently, proprietary platform based systems have outnumbered the open-platform systems which has made things complex for end-users.
Standing at the point of inflection, home automation market is estimated to see North America retain its position as the largest market. Revival of construction activities, especially on new residential buildings and renovations, is expected to support market growth in the region. Of all the applications of home automation systems, growing consumer preference for safety and security solutions is expected to result in 'safety and security segment' dominate market growth across all these regions. Energy management and HVAC automation systems too are expected to see a similar growth phase towards second half of the forecast period. Deployment of smart meters and need to curb household energy bills is further expected to drive the demand for such systems, especially in Europe and North America, which are at the forefront of smart meter installation.
Among networking platforms available, wireless systems are estimated to account for more than half the market share. Their revenue contribution is further expected to increase with the growth of alliances such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, and KNX. However, with the potential entry of Wi-Fi Direct and its possible adoption by Apple may disrupt expected market gains by other wireless technologies in the market. This is even expected to bring DIY type of automation solutions to the forefront of the home automation market, which till now was dominated by luxury systems, with mainstream systems and managed automation services showing promising growth signs. Amidst growing popularity of wireless technologies, power-line and fixed-wire home automation systems are forecast to see decline in market share.
Some of the key market players include Crestron Electronics, Inc., ADT Corporation, AMX LLC, and Control4 Corporation; accounting for more than 35% of the market share. A large part of the market is catered by players specializing in specific applications and those with generalized solutions. Other key participants include Lutron Electronics Company, Inc., ABB Ltd., Nortek, Inc., Vantage Controls, Schneider Electric SA, SoftAtHome, LivingTech, among others.

-------- Original Message -------- http://www.upi.com/view.cfm?StoryID=20040820-053939-7307r USDA document cites young mad cow cases By Steve Mitchell WASHINGTON, Aug. 23 (UPI) -- Department of Agriculture officials, in the wake of the first U.S. case of mad cow disease last December, have insisted it would be unlikely to find the deadly disease in cows under 30 months of age, but a 1990 document obtained by United Press International shows the agency once held a different view. The document, "Emergency Programs Alert," issued by USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service in May 1990, acknowledges that cows as young as 22 months were infected during the mad cow outbreak in the United Kingdom and suggests the agency was concerned about the possibility of young cases occurring in the United States. The document was distributed to USDA veterinarian inspectors to assist them in recognizing cases of mad cow. It describes the outbreak of the disease in the United Kingdom and states: "Age of affected cattle at onset ranged from 1 year 10 months to 15 years." The alert was issued the same month and year the USDA first began testing cattle brains for mad cow disease. It urges veterinarians to collect a brain sample from any cattle showing signs of the disease and does not specify any limitations on age. "This appears to be a 'smoking gun' document which shows that the agency knew at one time at least that animals younger than 30 months were affected by the disease," Michael Hansen, a biologist and senior research associate with the watchdog group Consumers Union in Yonkers, N.Y., told UPI. Lester Friedlander, a former USDA veterinarian who was with the agency in 1990, said that type of document was used to inform veterinarian inspectors of the characteristics of diseases they might encounter during inspection. At that time, there was no age cut-off for testing, Friedlander told UPI. "They did not give us any kind of age limitation," he said. "Any animal that showed signs of mad cow ... should be suspect," he said. USDA officials have said it is unlikely cows under age 30 months -- even if infected -- would test positive. The agency's new surveillance plan, launched June 1, focuses almost exclusively on older animals. In addition, the USDA recently blocked a private firm -- Creekstone Farms of Arkansas City, Kan. -- from testing its own cattle, in part because nearly all of the cattle were under the age of 30 months. Asked whether the 1990 document indicated the agency once was concerned about the possibility that younger cows could carry this disease, USDA spokeswoman Julie Quick told UPI, "Keep in mind this was 14 years ago and we've learned a lot about the disease since then." Quick added, "We do know its extremely rare for the disease to manifest itself" in younger animals. Hansen's group has urged the USDA to test all animals over age 20 months because that is the youngest age at which the disease has been detected worldwide. He noted there have been several cases in younger animals during the U.K. outbreak, which began in the 1980s. "Those are indications that it does happen that young," Hansen said. "Even if the young animals aren't exhibiting symptoms, they're still incubating and animals incubating disease can still be infectious," he said. "That should cause us to increase our level of concern, not decrease it." Another reason for testing younger animals is currently available tests are more sensitive and can detect infection earlier than tests available in 1990, Hansen said. More than 85 animals worldwide ages 30 months or under have tested positive for the disease, including a 20-month-old cow in 1992 in the United Kingdom -- the youngest case ever recorded. Three infected animals in Europe have been under the age of 30 months. In addition, two young cows in Japan -- 21 and 23 months old -- tested positive last year. The USDA requires the removal of the most infectious parts of cows, such as brains and spinal cords, to protect consumers, but animals under the age of 30 months are exempt from this requirement. Intestines, which can also be infectious, are required to be removed from all animals. The agency's current screening focus on animals over 30 months means any infected animals under that age and not showing obvious symptoms will not be targeted for testing and could go undetected and even approved for human consumption. The concern is humans can contract a fatal brain illness called variant Creutzfeldt Jakob disease from eating beef products contaminated with the mad cow agent. More than 150 people worldwide have contracted the illness, but no cases have been linked to consumption of U.S. beef. There has been only one confirmed mad cow case in the United States. Quick said it was uncertain how many cows between the ages of 20 to 30 months are in the United States. USDA data suggest it could be several million. Of the 35.5 million cows slaughtered last year, 28.7 million were under 24 months of age. Despite the cases in the young animals worldwide, USDA officials have sought to downplay the possibility of such an event happening in U.S. herds. Ron DeHaven, administrator of USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, asked about such cases by UPI during a Dec. 31, 2003, conference call with journalists, said, "the likelihood of animals under 30 months of having the disease is extremely remote." DeHaven went on to downplay the two infected young animals discovered in Japan last year. "It would be premature to modify any national program based on those two animals," he said. He acknowledged that two animals under 30 months had tested positive in the European Union in 2001 and 2002, but minimized their significance, too, saying one cow was 28 months old and one was 29 months and both were "very close to the 30-month timeframe." The USDA's acknowledgement of the young infected animal in the May 1990 document did not persist for long. An agency "Fact Sheet" on mad cow disease, issued just one month later in June 1990 -- which also was obtained by UPI -- does not mention that infected cows as young as 22 months have been detected. In fact, the document does not make any reference to the age at which cattle may develop the disease and states the agency has an ongoing surveillance program focused on cows 24 months of age and older. The next earliest fact sheet UPI was able to obtain is dated February 1994. It contains no reference to the cases of mad cow disease in 22 month old cows in the United Kingdom, and instead states that the disease is found predominantly in cows 36 months of age and older. "Most cases in England have occurred in dairy cows between 3 and 5 years of age," the Fact Sheet states. The same statement is employed on USDA's most current Fact Sheet, dated February, 2002. "It's another tidbit where you have to wonder whether the USDA didn't want to find (mad cow disease)," said Felicia Nestor, an independent food safety consultant who works with the watchdog group Public Citizen in Washington, D.C., and has monitored the USDA's response to mad cow for several years. "Periodically, there's a flicker of recognition that something may be a problem and then they (USDA officials) find a way to ignore it," Nestor told UPI. "It seems like that (the 1990 document) was another one." Quick said the USDA has put "firewalls" in place to help prevent the disease from taking hold in U.S. herds. In addition to the USDA's ban on importing cows from countries known to have mad cow disease, the Food and Drug Administration banned the practice of feeding cattle tissue to cattle, which can amplify the disease among herds, she said. The Government Accountability Office concluded in a 2002 report, however, that the feed ban had not been sufficiently enforced to prevent the spread of the disease among herds, and the FDA issued three warning letters as recently as June of this year to firms that were violating the ban. The European Food Safety Authority concluded in a report released Friday that it was likely U.S. cows were infected with mad cow disease due to the import of infected live cattle and feed during the 1980s and early 1990s, and raised its risk assessment of mad cow disease in the United States from "unlikely" to "likely but not confirmed or confirmed at a lower level." Quick said the United States probably would not experience the type of extensive outbreak in Europe and the United Kingdom, but she conceded, "We don't know the prevalence" of the disease in U.S. herds and "we do expect to find a few additional cases." -- Steve Mitchell is UPI's Medical Correspondent.

Good evening, and welcome to Brazil's Funniest Porn Videos! Despite the language barrier, this collection of on-camera flubs and practical jokes is still hilarious. Watching women bounce, moan and then topple off their partners is a real kick. When a happy, slobbering dog comes bounding in to interrupt the action, it seems almost familiar (apparently, curious pets can be a coitus barrier even for pros). From slaves who refuse to stay in their bonds to beds that collapse at the critical moment, this tape exposes the silly side of the industry. Sex is not always pretty, and here's the proof.

Top Ten Trial Presentation Laptop Specs, by Ted Brooks
1. Get two identical laptops, if possible. This makes it much easier to switch back and forth, etc. Use one as a work-horse, the other as the trial machine.
2. Get the largest hard drive available. Mine are 1TB.
3. Get the fastest hard drive available. Don't settle for 5400 rpm because it's less expensive. Get 7200 rpm.
4. Get the fastest processor available. Mine are i7.
5. Get the most RAM available. Mine are 8GB.
6. Get dedicated video memory, if possible. Mine have 1GB.
7. Go for the wide-screen. Once you get used to it, it is far more productive, having the extra work space.
8. Get Windows 7 Pro. The Home version is for use at home. There is an inexpensive "anytime upgrade" feature built in, in case you get the home version with the laptops.
9. Run in 64 bit, not 32. With W7 Pro, you can always choose to run older software in compatibility mode if necessary.
10. I ended up getting a couple Dell Studio laptops from Costco, for an excellent deal. You're going to be amazed – it's like computers are fun again.

Do all laptops have a port for a connection to a TV for court use?
